Spyker to be named "Force India"

Apparently, Spyker is to be named Force India F1 in 2008
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/63476
I'm not sure F1 teams should have national affilations in their names, save that for A1

what a shame that such a team like Jordan is now so lame. I mean "Force India', what are Martin and james suppossed to call it. I can just imagine, "oh there's Sutil in the Force India car" Pffft

Agreed, it's a horrible name. If he wants to wave the national flag he should have bought an A1 seat.

It makes the team sound like a bad action movie. FORCE INDIA! ATTACK!

It will sound even worse when they are 3 seconds off the pace. What a ridiculous name.

I can confirm I am in no way releated to this team.

Seriously though, pretty interesting name but it'll probably be changed in time for Monza '08 anyway.

Bernie has approved the name, but the FIA still have to. Lets hope they make one sensible decision this year.

How many Indians will be in the team? I'm guessing far less than the number of Brits at McLaren or Germans at BMW. Ferrari have been criticised for not employing enough Italians in senior positions, but I'm sure they'll have more than this team.

If they've two cars on the grid, call it what they will, it'll sound better than Prodrive. What is the sound of no cars lapping.

Drop the "India" name, and it could sound pretty cool. "Force" That sounds pretty damn good, imo. Paint the cars all black, with some white flashes.

Don't count on it!

What a horrendous name. It makes them sound like an A1GP team. Plus the chances of there being very many Indians involved seem pretty slim.

"India" is cool, because the backing is from there; problem is if any joker, or anybody with least appreciation for backmarker teams, would want to change the "O" of "Force" to "A".

As i said in another thread, it is good the team survives i guess but didn't you just know a lame arse name was coming as soon as the "Team India" name was bandied about, what a shame. Isn`t there a rule somewhere that you can only change a team name a certain amount of times in a short space of time?
